Brandon Sanderson has come under fire for over-the-top LGBTQ+ pandering in his The Stormlight Archive series finale, Wind And Truth. Now, he’s blogged doubling down, attempting to justify promoting evil lifestyles God opposes by throwing other fantasy writers under the bus.

Many fans complained about a main plotline of a gay romance between two men, promoted in the book as if it is a positive lifestyle instead of the sexual sin that it is. Moreover, it’s noted the scenes are forced and out of place in a medieval fantasy setting where it feels ham-fisted and modern.

Wind and Truth comes after a blog post updating his stance on LGBTQ as Sanderson has gone from a devout Mormon who refused to include such evils in his books, to putting them as background characters in Stormlight Archives to acknowledge they exist, to actively promoting the sinful lifestyles.
